WritingPad is a note-taking program similar to Notes, but with one extremely useful addition: it has its own keyboard that acts as an alternative to the standard iPhone keyboard. Instead of pecking at touch-screen keys one by one, you trace the pattern of a word, touching each of the letter keys instead.

The Good

• I’ve mentioned before that I have trouble typing on the standard iPhone keyboard. After just a few minutes using WritingPad, I think it’s better for writing longer content like emails. Long words in particular are much easier to write this way.
• After writing a WritingPad note, tap the “email” button and the contents of your note form the body of an email.

The Bad

• The keyboard only works within the WritingPad app itself. It’s not a replacement for the standard iPhone keyboard. And since the iPhone lacks copy and paste, you can’t move the contents of the notes to other programs. So you’re basically stuck with sending emails and using it as a replacement for the Notes program that comes with the iPhone.
• No landscape mode.

Conclusion

WritingPad and its swipe-typing method claim to do one thing, make typing on the iPhone easier, and it does that very well. And the best part: it’s free. You really have no excuse not to download and try it out.
